Questions & Answers about من در تعطیلات از کوهنوردی خیلی خسته میشم.
Why is the verb میشم written this way instead of میشوم?
This is the colloquial Tehrani pronunciation taught in this lesson. In spoken Farsi, the verb شدن (to become) loses the و in its present stem. So, the formal میشوم (I become / I get) shrinks down to میشم. You will hear this everywhere in daily conversation.
What is the difference between saying خسته میشم and خستهام?
خستهام (or خسته هستم) uses the verb 'to be' and means 'I am tired' right now. By using میشم from the verb شدن (to become), the sentence means 'I get tired' or 'I become tired', focusing on the habit of getting tired during the holidays.
Why do we use از before کوهنوردی?
In English we often say we get tired 'from' doing something, and Farsi uses the exact same logic. The preposition از (from) introduces the cause of the tiredness, which in this case is کوهنوردی (hiking).
How does the word کوهنوردی translate to 'hiking'?
It is a compound word. It combines کوه (mountain) with نورد (the present stem of a literary verb meaning to travel or traverse) and adds the suffix ی to make it an activity noun. Literally, it means 'mountain-traversing' or 'mountain-climbing', but it is the standard Farsi word for hiking.
